The development of federal-provincial financial equalization in Canada is reviewed in this essay. Also included is a discussion of the 1982–1987 fiscal arrangements; an explanation of two competing philosophies of equalization—fiscal need and fiscal equity; and an exploration of some implications of the 1982 Constitution Act for the future of equalization in Canada. It is concluded that the 1982 Act offers substantial support to the narrow-based fiscal equity principle and that future equalization programs in Canada should therefore be similar to current practice.

Weaving together traditional Māori knowledge from the past with our current practice realities of the present as a guide for the provision of tangata whenua supervision for the future. Körari as it is known in Te Tai Tokerau, commonly called flax or harakeke, is an important natural resource our tūpuna used for a range of purposes. Kōrari contains healing qualities and one of its practical uses both traditionally and today is weaving, and in particular weaving kete. Kete are symbolic in our whakapapa stories about the pursuit and application of knowledge and the tikanga used for weaving contain important stories, principles and practices that can guide us in our mahi and our lives.

This article is about improvisation, which is a term that nurses in Uganda employ to describe how they overcome the practical difficulties of working in an institutional setting, which lacks the necessary equipment, drugs and staff. On the basis of data from Tororo Hospital in Eastern Uganda, the article explores the meanings of the term improvisation, how it relates to a general discourse about the nursing profession, and how the nurses handle and make sense of a complex and contradictory work situation. Improvisation is a term that both makes customary nursing practice legitimate and supports a professional identity under pressure. It also articulates a nostalgic longing for better times – located both in the past, the golden age of nursing, and in the future since the term improvisation constructs current practice as an interim phenomenon. Thus, “improvisation” offers a way for the nurses to domesticate the contradictory forces, which play a prominent part in nursing in Uganda today.

This article discusses the concepts of contract in the perspective of Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence) and its implementation in Sharia Capital Market, particularly in the issuance of Corporate Sukuk and State Sukuk (SBSN). The purpose of the study is to understand the concept of akad (contract) in Islamic perspective an its implementation in sukuk issuance, mainly related to the transfer of ownership from the sukuk issuer to the investor. This study reveals that the current practice of issuance of corporate sukuk in Indonesia is only based on two models of contracts, namely Ijârah and Mudhârabah contracts. In addition, the contract structure are also varied, depending on the type of the issuer business, the purpose of funding, and the choice of contract. In the future, the issuance of corporate sukuk should have a uniformed, standardized structure, while it still comply with syariah regulation.

Abstract In this article I revisit Herbert Marcuse’s 1964 work One-Dimensional Man with the goal of reactivating Marcuse’s critique of one-dimensional society but in regard to the current practice and discipline of history. On my reading, it is in the field of history that the dangers of one-dimensionality are felt most acutely today. Especially in the ways that historians and philosophers of history continue to render history as a mausoleum to warehouse an entombed and inactive past. In what follows, I offer a willful and intentional reading of the role and place of philosophy of history in One-Dimensional Man in order to demonstrate the ways that history and historians have now become key proponents of one-dimensionality. I then marshal Marcuse’s analysis, though shorn of the speculative teleology that characterizes the two-dimensional history of Marcuse’s dialectic, in order to reactivate history as a multi-dimensional force to enact change in the future.
